This has been on the web a while. The first time I did it was 2 years ago. I ran into it by chance again today. It's designed by BBC. It's a fun test to do, so I decided to share it with you. The test is bit long, so make sure you have some time for it.  

According to the test, I think more like a man... I kinda agree. Well, maybe people who decided to take this test can tell me if you find it creditable.   Have Fun!

Sex ID

Some researchers say that men can have 'women's brains' and that women can think more like men.

I have just recently travel back to Taiwan for two weeks. It was wonderful to see the family and friends.

Flight going home is pretty long. I have to transfer a couple of times because I don't live in the biggest cities in the U.S. or Taiwan. The main flight across the Pacific Ocean is about 12 hours. That's a long time sitting in a little seat!

Thanks to the nice planes we have today, even in economy seats, I have my personal entertainment system. I can chose which movies I want to watch and which games I want to play. With a 12 hour flight, I watched 4 movies each flight. It was great! I can pause it when I want to stretch or go to the restroom.

Out of all the movie I watched during this round trip flight, my favorite was Adam's Apples. Adam's Apples is a Denmark movie. It's a dark comedy, and it's really funny! I couldn't help to laugh even when everyone were sleeping in the flight. Some people may care about the religious interpretation in this movie, good V.S. evil and that kind of things, but I just like the humor.

Adam's Apple 

My favorite movie of the year! (I know it's early in 2007...but it is a great movie, and I don't see other movies that can top it off any time soon...)

The Lives of Others

A German Film.
The movie is set at East Germany from 1984 to 1991. 1984,  five years before Berlin Wall's downfall, the former East- German government (known as the GDR, German Democratic Republic) ensures its claim to power with a ruthless system of control and surveillance via the Stasi, a vast network of informers that at one time numbered 200,000 out of a population of 17 million.

The topic is interesting to me first of all, since I have not seen movies about this subject. There are lots of German movies about WWII and the Nazi, but not many movies touched the recent history or stories about East Germany.

The film is sober and simple in its usage of color and music, but the actors brings in all the deepest emotions. The characters are very well developed with great spectrum of human qualities, the ugly and the beautiful. It's very well executed and made me leaving the theater thinking over and over about the story with a warm feeling inside.
